As a child, the thing I found most startling about attending majority-black public schools was the fact that most of my fellow students had no idea what a “Jew” is. To them, I was just a white kid. A few of my schoolmates who had churchgoing parents had heard terms like “Hebrews” and “Israelites,” but there was little understanding of how those words applied to living people in the modern world.
I recall one black classmate telling me she’d finally “figured out” what this Jew thing is all about: “You guys just wear the cross, but without the little man on it, because you don’t think Jesus is the savior. But we Christians wear the little man because we believe in him.”

Roman Catholics wear crucifixes with Jesus still on the cross.
The author is correct. Jewish people are white oppressors according to the rest, and better get used to it.

Didn’t Whoopi Goldberg (culturally appropriated Jewish name, by the way, real name is Karen Johnson) say the Holocaust wasn’t racism because it was just a thing between white people?
Exactly. Born again Christians do not wear a crucifix. And...why would a Jew?
Try to keep your anti-Catholic venom to threads where it actually belongs.
“ Didn’t Whoopi Goldberg (culturally appropriated Jewish name, by the way, real name is Karen Johnson) say the Holocaust wasn’t racism because it was just a thing between white people?”
How fitting her name is Karen.
Lol.
All I did was make an observation based on interactions with RCs as they most often identify as Catholic. And the observation on the cross and crucifix is also accurate.
I am and I do.
Don’t know why they would.
Catholics are Christians. If you haven’t received the sacrament of confirmation, you’re not Christian at all, at least according to the way Christians thought in second century Antioch. It’s because of the anointing that we’re called Christians.
Anyone who’s been validly baptized is born again.
Do you wear a cross or a crucifix?
These are tough times for women named Karen and men named Brandon.
“Crucifix” meaning a cross with an image of Christ on it. Not just the plain cross.
If you’ve called upon the Lord for salvation you’re saved as per Romans. The new believer would then follow up with baptism.
“Baptism saves you”. I read that somewhere.
Antioch is where Christians were first known by that name. Theophilus, who was its sixth bishop after Peter, was in an excellent position to speak authoritatively about what a Christian is. Merely calling on the Lord doesn’t cut it.
Paul wrote that in Romans 10. Might want to check it out.
